@-Some Baltimore county Prohibitionists are
making big claims as to the vote their ticket will
receive in November, but we find that the most
level-headed among them are more modest and
will feel happy if they poll 1000 votes. We do
not think they will get even that many, because
we are confident that many Republicans who lean
that way will vote their own ticket because they
believe it has a show to win, knowing at the same
time that vote for the Prohibition ticket will be

@S> Referring to the numerous charities of Mr..
Walter B. Brooks, Republican nominee for Gov
ernor, Rev. J. Wynne Jones, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church at Highlandtown, says: "Ask
the sisters of the Catholic church, who often came
to him in behalf of their noble, heroic and self
denying work, if they ever called in vain Ask
even the needy Hebrew if his calls were unan-
swered. No. Mr.. Brooks has heart filled with
charity, and none but God and the receiver will
ever know the full amount of his great and many
gifts. Living and moving for nearly ten years
among the people of Canton, where Mr.. Brooks is
SO well known, afforded me an opportunity of see
ing and hearing much never known to others,
and now I testify, without hesitation, that I re-
gard him as a man of unimpeachable character !;
honest, faithful and fearless in the discharge of
his duties just to all, and partial to none."

where he is well known and highly respected, and
the vote he will receive on the Sth of November
will be a surprise to many. There are those who
believe his election il already assured.

cessful on Wednesday. In the heat of political
campaign people will make all kinds of claims

THANKSGIVING DAY. =
The President Issues the Usual Proclama-
ton for Day of Thanksgiving
and Prayer.

BIZ the President of the United States-The
goodness and the mercy of God which have follow
ed the American people during all the days of the
past year claim their grateful recognition and
humble acknowledgment. By His omnipotent
power He has protected US from war and pesti-
lence and from every national calamity; by His
gracious favor the earth has yielded a generous
return to the labor of the husbandman, and every
path of honest toll has led to comfort and content
ment; by His loving kindness the hearts of our
people have been replenished with fraternal sent9
ment and patriotic endeavor, and by His unerring
guidance we have been directed in the way of ma
ti0nal prosperity.
To the end that we may, with one accord, testL
fly our gratitude for all these blessings 1, Grover
Cleveland, President of the United States do here
by designate and set apart Thursday, the Oath day
of November next, as a day af thanksgiving and
prayer, to be observed by all the people of the
land.
On that day let all secular work and employ ment
be suspended, and let our people assemble in their
accustomed places of worship and with prayer and
songs of praise give thanks to Heavenly Father
for all that He has done for us, while we humbly
impore the forgiveness of our sins and continu-
ance of His mercy.
Let families and kindred be reunited on that
day, and let their hearts, filled with kindly cheer
and affectionate "reminiscences, be turned in thank
fulness to the source of all their pleasures and the
Giver of all that makes the day glad and Joyous.
And in the midst of our worship and our happi
ness let us remember the poor, the needy and the
unfortunate, and by our gifts of charity and ready
benevolence let us increase the number of thos,
who, with grateful hearts, shall join in our thanks
giving.
In witness whereof have set my hand AMI
caused the seal of the United States to be hereuno
affixed. GROVER CLEVELAND.

@-T The municipal election in Baltimore city
on Wednesday resulted in victory for Gen. La
trobe, the Irregular" Democratic nominee, whose
majority over Mr.. D. L. Bartlett, the Republican
candidate, was 4,495. The vote for Latrobe was
34,s27, and for Bartlett 3O,332. The election was
holly contested, although there was comparatively
little disorder, and only one man was killed. The
usual charges of fraud are made and it seems that
it is simply impossible to have perfectly fair
election in any of the larger cities. In the City
Council the Republicans made some gains, the
First Branch standing eight Republicans to twelve
Democrats, and the Second Branch three Repub-
licans to seven Democrats. Among the Republi-
cans elected are William W. McIntire, Henry N.
Bankard, Edward H. Fowler and Henry W. Rogers.

A CONVENTION" will be vote to saddle an addi-
tional burden on the taxpayers of the State of
something like 100000. No one is asking for
this convention except the Democratic State man
ayers and it is plain that their object is not to
benefit the people, but to overthrow the judiciary
of Baltimore city and get the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal in their clutches. Vote against A

@-When Gen. LatrObe was nominated for
Mayor of Baltimore The UNION said that he was
perhaps the strongest candidate that could have
been named, and as it turned out, although the
bosses did not want him, it is lucky for them that
they were obliged to take him, otherwise they
might have been beaten. He is a strong man
with the masses and there is not man in Balti-
more who understands the needs of the city better
than he does. He is a safe man and, what is well
for the people, he is not under any obligations to
the bosses. He made good Mayor before and
he will do the same again.

B- On Sunday afternoon last Rev. 7. D..
Phillips, pastor of Broadway Baptist Church,
Baltimore, delivered stirring address, at Mt.
Pisgah tabernacle, and which was principally de-
voted to politics. Among other things he said ::
"The man who sells his vote for whisky or money
is sham, humbug, two-legged animal. He is
a caricature-not man. He is beneath man !;
he is beast-a brute. How many men have de-
graded themselves in this way" We are sorry
to say that good many have thus degraded them
selves. We have some of them right here in Bal
timore county. They have done it and they will
do it again. Mr.. Phillips put it pretty strong,
but he is right, Notwithstanding. Aman who would
sell his vote for any consideration is not worthy
to be called an American citizen.

To the Honorable The Judges of the Circuit Court:
We regret that violations of law in the selling
of liquor on Sunday consumed much time of the
Grand Jury. The bulk of our people, vast ma
jority as we believe, are favorable to the improve
ment of the law, but it seems impracticable to
properly execute it with existing provisions; and
it is to be regretted that the penalties against its
offences operate rather as license than as an ade
quate punishment and prevention of an offense in
imical to good morals, subversive of good order
and destructive of the observance of the Christian
Sabbath. Its violators interfere with the rights of
the aw-abiding citizens engaged in the same
business. We recommend that more stringent pen
alties be affixed to this offence. 1t is earnestly to
be desired that the petty cases which take up so
much time and attention of the Grand Jury and
the Court should be disposed of by the Magistrates
thus effecting real saving to the county without
substantially jeopardizing the rights of any.
We visited the Jail and found it as clearly as
the interior of the building would admit. We
suggest the removal ofthe stationary water closets
in the cells and give the prisoners galvanized
buckets instead, as we think that would improve
the sanitary condition of the building, and also
save expense.
The report of the Committee to examine the
books of the Treasurer is herewith submitted.
The thanks of the Jury is also rendered to your
Honors and all the officers of the Court for assis
lance and information
